    Going on a camping trip outdoors always gives outdoors enthusiast a great opportunity to breathe some fresh air, listen to some new music, and even learn more about themselves. However, while camping alone can be quite fun and all, camping with a small group of friends not only allows you to share the advantages already mentioned above, but also allows you and your best friends to further strengthen your friendship together. That’s when having something like the Tentsile Safari Vista 3-Person 3-in-1 Tree Tent (3.0) on your camping trip comes in handy.

    Because sharing is caring and spiting your resources with friends is the base of any friendship, the Tentsile Safari Vista is a 3-in-1 3-Person convertible tree tent that can ultimately be used by a group of three (x3) outdoors-enthusiastic friends.

    As such, the Safari Vista is the ultimate 3-in-1 Tree Tent and hammock, as it combines both the comfort and versatility of a hammock with the protection, security and multi-occupancy that you would get from a standard high-quality tent.

    Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Tentsile Safari Vista and see exactly how this 3-Person 3-in-1 Tree Tent works as well as check everything that it has to offer.

    DESIGN & SPECS

    Starting with the tent’s size, the Tentsile Safari Vista Tree Tent measures exactly 27.5 inches long by 14.5 inches wide by 11.8 inches tall / thick when completely packed inside its Carrying Bag, which weights a total of 39.7 lbs (18 kg) when also accounting for all of the tent’s accessories.

    Both the tent and all of the tent’s accessories come neatly packed inside a compact Tentsile Carrying Bag that’s equipped with small locking clips, an ultra-durable and extremely high-quality shoulder strap, and a very, very high-quality zipper.

    Now, let’s take a look at the tent itself after it is unpacked from its Carrying Bag.

    Starting right at the bottom of the tent, right under the tent’s flooring users can find a total of three (x3) detachable underfloor storage nets which are big enough for pretty much any rucksack, clothing items, or any other of your personal items that you simply wanna keep outside of the tent’s floor / platform.

    Then, moving to the tent’s flooring, the Tentsile Safari Vista Tree Tent basically uses the company’s Safari Trillium 3-Person Giant Camping Hammock as its base.

    The tent’s floor / platform is made of a 450 gram PU-coated Dacron heavy-duty and ultra-durable material, and that ultimately makes the tent’s standing platform really durable / tough as well as really, really strong.

    Thanks to that, this tent can ultimately hold up to 3 adults as well as all of their gear, as it features a 880 lbs. (400 kg). weight capacity.

    The tent’s floor space measures exactly 13.5 ft. by 13.5 ft. by 13.5 ft., thus giving its users a total of 78 sq. ft. (7.25 sq. m) of usable floor area and up to 4 ft. (1.2 m) of head height space. Ultimately, users are offered a ton of open space that can be used to chill and relax while having the tent set-up / installed.

    The tent’s 3-Person Giant Camping Hammock (its standing floor / platform) utilizes Tentsile’s patented 3-point anchor system to pull the tent’s floor and keep it extremely stable while also giving it just enough flex to conform to and cushion your body, ultimately giving you the most comfortable night’s sleep you’ve ever had in a tent. With minimal sag, you can sleep on your stomach, side or back in complete comfort.

    Furthermore, that same hammock platform also features Tentsile’s unique tensioned anti roll strap system, which not only reinforces the tent’s standing platform, but also creates a total of three (x3) separate sleeping bays.

    This unique tensioned anti roll strap system adds some extra strength to the tent floor to perfectly balance any weight differences between the tent’s multiple users (either 2 or 3 people sleeping within the tent) and thanks to that, the tent’s tensioned anti roll strap system can prevent all occupants from rolling towards the middle of the tent, even when one person is heavier than others. While the straps naturally create separate sleeping bays, they can also be adjusted for different weights for the tent’s potential three users.

    Ultimately, all that makes the Tentsile Safari Vista the ideal 3-person tent for families of 3 to go camping outdoors.

    After jumping onto the tent’s platform users can also find the tent’s built-in 40% Bigger Hatch at the very center of its standing floor, which is basically the tent’s central access hatch. This central hatch makes climbing onto the tent much easier than when climbing onto to it from its sides.

    This 40% Bigger Hatch comes equipped with a total of three (x3) built-in Velcro Safety Catches that ultimately work as its secondary locking mechanism while also ensuring that each and every one of the Bigger Hatch’s sliding zippers don’t slide away when users don’t want them to.

    Additionally, while the tent is indeed open on all of its sides, the Tentsile Safari Vista Tree Tent also includes its own removable mesh lining and a roof kit with an easy-to-assemble pole configuration and a 100%-waterproof, UV-resistant sunshade for an open three-sided view. This basically means that once the Removable Waterproof Rainfly (discussed right ahead) is installed, you get a total of three (x3) “doors”.

    As such, the Tentsile Safari Vista also features several huge porches that are equipped with built-in weatherproof wings that can be pegged out at several different angles to give its users different shades of both wind and rain protection.

    The tent’s Removable Waterproof Rainfly is made of a 70D PVC-coated nylon fabric, which gives the entire tent a 8,000 Hydrostatic Head Waterproof Rating. This Removable Waterproof Rainfly can be easily clipped to the tent’s ratchet handles by using Tentsile’s quick-release system.

    Furthermore, the tent’s Waterproof Rainfly can perfectly cover the tent and even be slightly extented outwards to create a larger area underneath the tent itself that can either be used as an additional living space or as a secondary storage space.

    While the tent’s rainfly can easily keep you dry in all season’s (meaning in almost any weather type), it’s important for you to keep it mind that this rainfly cover doesn’t really like heavy snowfall, so be aware of that.

    Lastly, the tent also comes with its own fully-removable Insect Mesh Cover Accessory, and thanks to that, you can easily use the tent’s hammock as a camping hammock that’s equipped with a roof to ultimately work as a a four-season tree tent.

    WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

    Inside the tent’s Carrying Bag users will find: their Safari Vista 3-Person Tree Tent equipped with its built-in insect mesh, the tent’s included Removable Waterproof Rainfly (8,000 Hydrostatic Head Waterproof Rating), two (x2) included 8.5mm diameter anodised aluminium alloy poles, a total of three (x3) Heavy-duty ratchet buckles (2.5-ton breaking strength), as well as three (x3) included 6m / 19ft polyester straps, four (x4) Low-impact giant yellow screw pegs and three (x3) WaterGates.

    SETUP / INSTALLATION

    Setting up / installing the Tentsile Safari Vista 3-Person 3-in-1 Tree Tent is not that hard, and after learning from the company’s video guide, you should only need around 15 minutes to do it.

    Since this tree tent only comes with 3 ratchets and 2 poles, installing the tent is very straightforward and can be done by a single person. However, its recommended that users have a friend or family members around to help them out and make the task a bit easier.

    As mentioned before, the tent’s 3-Person Giant Camping Hammock platform utilizes Tentsile’s patented 3-point anchor system to pull the tent’s floor upwards and keep it super stable during its use outdoors.
